A doctor at a coronavirus facility in Assam's Hojai, around 140 kilometres from Guwahati, was on Tuesday mercilessly punched, kicked, and pounded with metal trash cans and bricks, by the relatives of a Covid patient who had died allegedly due to oxyg

A group of cow vigilantes today stopped three vehicles transporting cattle and allegedly beat the drivers and helpers on the outskirts of Guwahati despite the victims having 'valid papers' to ferry the animals.

The application - Disaster Ready Assam - was inaugurated by Chief Secretary V.K. Pipersenia in Guwahati on Thursday.

28-year-old Naren Tumung's memory loss is slowly improving. He can now recall the moments before the blast on October 30 2008 in Assam which killed close to one hundred people and injured several hundreds. He parked his auto rickshaw under the Ganeshguri flyover in Guwahati and went to a nearby tea shop. Just then the bomb went off. Naren wasn't in...

Days after chairperson of National Commission for Women (NCW) Mamata Sharma's remarks on how women should dress drew criticism, now a Madhya Pradesh minister said the safety of women and respect accorded to them depend on what they wear and how well they behave.

The chief minister of Assam has said that he accepts the blame and responsibility for a press statement sent out on Monday evening that shared the photo of a young woman who was molested on camera outside a pub in Guwahati a week ago. Tarun Gogoi said the photograph was a mistake, but that his office had not shared the name of the victim in the em...

The arrests are slowly adding up -too slowly to matter, really. A week after a TV camera in Guwahati filmed a young woman being attacked, groped, pulled back from the road that she tried to race down, 11 of the 30 people who assaulted her have been arrested. The man who led the mob - seen in a red shirt, the same he wears in his Facebook profile...

First the Class XI student in Guwahati suffered at the hands of her molesters and now it is the repeated insensitivity of government officials. Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's office released a press release with her name and photograph on Monday evening. Realising the extent of their mistake, they then asked the media to ignore it.

Shocking details emerging on the condition of the girl molested in Guwahati. A team from the National Commission for Women (NCW) flew to Guwahati from Delhi and visited the girl on Saturday. They say she had burn wounds on her body indicating that the men burnt her with their cigarettes. " It is very saddening. The girl has wounds on her body. The ...

"Main bahut himmatwali thi (I had lots of guts)", she says looking at you with eyes reduced to unseeing opaque white mottled orbs and her once-pretty face a mass of melted flesh. But acid attack victim Sonali Mukherjee is still a fighter, as she battles all odds for justice.

After a video of a young girl being molested went viral, a series of complicated questions need to be addressed. Leading the list is why only four men of a mob of 50 have been arrested. But the atrocities committed on the girl have also evoked a parallel debate -about why a cameraperson and reporter should have focused on helping the victim, rather...

Search operations continued for the eighth day today to find survivors of the Dhubri boat tragedy with the Army, NDRF and BSF trying to trace victims. Police said no bodies were found either yesterday or today. Bodies of 38 victims have so far been recovered and 42 victims have been registered as officially missing.

Hundreds of people wait at the banks of the Brahmaputra for information on their family members missing in the ferry capsize, as rescuers braving torrential rain search the river at Jaleswar for any signs of survivors. The double-decker ferry broken into two pieces and personal belongings of the victims strewn all around are a grim testimony to the...
